The character portrayed in these lines is the prioress from the Canterbury Tales. In the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, the prioress is the picture of contradictions.  Not being what she seems, she is another example of the religious figure. Madame Eglantine is her real name, a main character in the Canterbury Tales. She has one of the long description and the fourth in the list of description. Chaucer describes her to be dainty and had funny habits. Chaucer provides her physical description and that being a religious figure instead of carrying rosary beads with a crucifix, she is very well dressed with a string of coral beads that reads "Amor Vincit Omnia". Her refinement is described as superficial.
